David Bacco will be back again this year to judge the Death by Chocolate Bake Off! David is the owner and mastermind behind David Bacco Chocolats (which just so happens to share an acronym with Death by Chocolate--DBC!) David began his chocolate career in 1994. He describes himself as self-taught, but he's studied with several world-class chefs in both the French Pastry School in Chicago, and the World Pastry Forum in Las Vegas. David has received received first place awards at the Capitol Confectioners Competition from 2001-2006 in each of the following categories: chocolates, small candies, candies, miniature pastries, fantasy dessert, showpiece and cheesecake. David was head pastry chef at Cocoliquot when they were named Best Restaurant for Dessert by Isthmus Magazine in 2007.
The chocolate creations in David's shop are a feast for the eye as well as the palate. In Business Magazine says, "Dark wooded walls showcase a simple display case along the back, where candies are displayed like jewels in a dizzying array of colors and geometric shapes."
David Bacco Chocolats website showcases the chocolates in a simple and elegant layout, which shines the spotlight on every creation and illuminates the concept behind it, as well as the rare and unusual ingredients used. David's Chakra bars include such exquisite ingredients as roiboos tea, honey powder, Madagascar vanilla beans, and violet petals.
